DEARMAN™ Inventory Management
The DEARMAN™ Inventory system is a robust, flexible solution for your complex bulk liquid and chemical
distribution inventory and reporting requirements. You can consolidate transactions from one or more
Terminal Automation Systems (such as our RTG™ or TAS.net™), as well as non-automated
systems, barge and ship terminals, and transaction processing services such as TABS or PETROEX.
The database is a fully functional dual entry inventory system. Manual transactions can be added,
voided, or modified directly to the Inventory system as needed while the imported transactions can be
modified in the source system as needed. Product, Tank/Carrier, Ownership, and Terminal tracking of
transactions on both the source and target sides provide the foundation for a comprehensive reporting
system. A full audit trail is provided.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Reduced management hours with improved accuracy.
- Scenarios such as several products, owned by several position holders, moved
by several different carriers to several different locations can be traced
completely.
- Inventory positions provided from any
point in time to another point in time
without need of fixed time of day close.
- Physical and book amounts of the products
in the facility.
- Pipeline interface receipts and shipments
fully supported.
- Static line fills (piping and hardware
associated with storage location).
- Dynamic line fill for last product received or
shipped.
- Terminal Automation Systems such as our RTG™, TAS.net™ or APM™ systems
and transaction processing services such as TABS or PETROEX can mirror
transaction data directly to the DEARMAN™ Inventory system or the data can be
uploaded by a comparison update.
- Shipments, receipts, transfers and adjustments automatically collected at the
terminal. Manual changes or entries are made at the terminal to balance and
account for the terminal activity then they are all transferred automatically to
the inventory database.
- Automated level gauging systems are
fully supported.
- Manual level entries or changes can be made at the terminal as needed or they
can be adjusted directly in the Inventory database.
- Entity data collected from automation system, other source system and/or
maintained in the inventory system. Entity data is shared directly with our
ExSTARS reporting system.
- Standardized entity data such as product, product group, position holder,
supplier, exchanger, customer, destination, and carrier makes for error free data
entry.

reason, product, ownership, location, and
carrier, terminal, gross volume, net

replaced for audit trail.

ownership volumes/masses to be
recorded at will.

summaries and listings for reconciling,
balancing, and analyzing are included.
